Planets in houses

Sixty readings: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars in each of the twelve houses.

A sign says how a planet works; a house says where in life it does its work. House readings need a birth time, because the houses turn with the hours. These are the same texts that appear inside a chart result when the placement shows up there. Readings for the other five planets in houses are still being written and will join this page as they are finished.

Sun

Sun stands for identity, vitality, and the wish to be seen.
